SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BUILDING A POOL IN THE
GROUND
To avoid that material rolls onto the site where the pool
is to be constructed, the location where the pool is to
be constructed must be in the most elevated part of the
garden. The surrounding landscape should be lower
than the pool. Attention, the water level of the pool
should also be above the groundwater level during the
winter (water level 15 cm below the inlet).
The specific installation such as seen in Figure 2 serves
only as a reference and is not representative for all pool
installations. The parts which may need special materi-
als are the lighting and chloride installations.
EXCAVATING
1. The circumference of the excavation is the same as
the size of the pool plus 60 cm around the whole
pool. Determine the size of the excavation pertaining
to the size of the pool and use for this the exten-
sive installation instruction delivered with the pool.
(Attention, the soil should be at least 15 cm white
sand or stabilized sand; on top of that we recommend
a layer of styrodur or a protective blanket.)
2. The depth of the excavation is dependent on the
height of the pool and desired terrace. Use the size
such as seen in Figure 1 to calculate how deep the
excavation should be.
3. After the pool is excavated, the frame and the wall
should be installed according to the installation ins-
truction delivered with the pool.
INSTALLATION OF SKIMMER AND INLET
The skimmer and the inlet have to be installed before
the pool is filled with water and before the pool is filled
up with stabilized sand. During the installation of the
internal lining and the skimmer, the lead through for the
skimmer may not be created yet. Install the inlet and
gasket. Remove the internal lining from the inlet opening
and install the valve delivered with the skimmer.
PLUMBER’S WORK
In order to prevent that the hoses move up and down,
you should connect the skimmer and the inlet with rigid
PVC to the filter (Figure 2). If you are using flexpipe, you
need to make sure that this pipe is not bent, before you
fill up the rest of the pool. Install the pump as closely as
possible to the pool in connection with the drawing in of
the pump. If this pump is a Doughboy Pool Powerpack,
then you should place it below the water level.
FILLING THE POOL
First fill the pool with water up to approximately 5 cm
away from the top edge. This procedure is absolutely
necessary to absorb the pressure performed on the wall
during the application of stabilized sand. Ff the pool
is not filled completely with water, this can cause pool
failure.
SHUTTERING
We recommend that you apply a shuttering around the
skimmer before the pool is filled up.A space around the
skimmer and any other accessories offer you the possi-
